Last week while I was in CA for work, Ryan worked on my Mother’s Day surprise – our bedroom and most specifically our closet! The hard part, sanding, priming and sanding trim was all done when I got home Friday! We spent the weekend trading off painting time and kid playing time – getting the …
It’s our annual April vacation where the kids go to daycare and we stay home and work on the house – coincides with our birthdays. This year the focus was on the master suite (just a few more weeks and we’ll have our own room!). Monday was Alex’s birthday so we did a family fun …
We have a couple of things working against us on the house progress front right now, some planned some not planned. First we have busy Saturdays entirely for 4 weekends in a row. Second Ryan got sick, his work got busy then Bella got sick this past weekend and his work is still busy. Travel …

Progress continues quickly as we finished up all the prep work for insulation and they came out last Wednesday to start the job (they are finishing up today with a few small touch ups and cleanup). We are seeing a huge improvement in heat retention even with the heat turned off this weekend (we turned …
